Please pray for my friend “M”. I’ve been praying for his salvation. He has a calling on his life and is running from it. He used to be so sweet, loving and loved God but now he’s on this “I don’t need God” phase and is spending his time drinking, clubbing and having one night stands. Something happened to him he because he was never like this but I’ve done all I can to love, encourage and support him despite his new found temper and lack of self esteem.

He used to talk about God so much and how he loved him and wanted to be a great man of God but one day it just stopped. I know God can do anything so I’m believing for the impossible. That will transform M’s heart and mind. That he’ll save him and get him back on track.

How to Pray for Unsaved Loved Ones: The Ephesian’s Prayer
clasped-hands-541849_640.jpg




In Luke 8, Jesus tells us quite plainly that the devil can snatch the Word of God right out of the heart.

A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it. [Luke 8:5 NLT]

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the way side (the traveled path) are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. [Luke 8:11-12 KJV]

Do let that sink in for a minute.

The devil—whose desire is to steal, kill, and destroy—is intent on keeping the Word of God from being implanted in a person’s heart so that he can keep them from accepting Jesus.

To be more specific, the devil is intent on keeping the Word of God from being implanted in your loved one’s heart so that he can keep them from accepting Jesus.

I can see in my mind’s eye a person sitting in church or perhaps in their home or in their car and they are listening to someone share the Word of God. As they are hearing the Good News, they begin to be bombarded with distracting thoughts… with ungodly thoughts… with condemning thoughts. Little do they know that those thoughts are authored by the enemy. It is evil warfare being exercised against them. And as they do not realize what is happening, they offer no resistance and the enemy is successful in stealing the Word that they they are hearing right out of their heart.

Disturbing scenario isn’t it? It incites a righteous anger when we think of it occurring against someone we love. But more than that, I believe it helps to explain how some people can hear of God’s love for them and still not yield to that love.

As I pondered this evil act of thievery, I decided to dig a little deeper in hopes of understanding how the enemy is able to steal the Word.

One helpful passage I found was in Matthew 13.

Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. [Matthew 13:18-19 NKJV]

According to these verses, the enemy is able to steal the Word when the hearer does not understand or comprehend or grasp what he is hearing.

This evil strategy is further amplified in 2 Corinthians 4:4

satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. [NLT]

For the enemy to steal the Word of God out of your loved one’s heart then, he must keep your loved one from understanding the Truth of God’s love.



The Victorious Good News
The Good News is that we have the Light of the Word of God available to us to use against the evil, blinding works of the enemy.

In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul offered a prayer for those who were in the church of Ephesus. And while the prayer was prayed for believers, it has a long history of bringing the lost to Jesus as well.

One pastor I heard shared that he had prayed for the salvation of a loved one for over thirty years with no success. When he began to pray the Ephesians prayer over that loved one, he came to Christ Jesus within two weeks.



How to Pray the Ephesian’s Prayer
First, I would encourage you to read Ephesians chapters 1-3.

Next, pray the Ephesian’s prayer over your own walk with the Lord.

Then, pray the Ephesian’s prayer for your loved ones.

I have personalized the prayer below and left blanks for you to add in the name of those who need to find the peace and love of God through Christ Jesus.

As you pray, expect the Holy Spirit to guide you. If you feel impressed to add to the prayer, by all means follow the leading. Remember that the Holy Spirit knows the heart of those you are praying for.

When you have prayed, believe that the Father has heard your prayer and continue to offer Him praise and thanksgiving for what He is doing in answer to your prayers!



The Ephesian’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that You, the God of my Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto ______ the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You.

The eyes of _________’s understanding being enlightened, that _________ may know what is the hope of Your calling and know the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power to us who believe, according to the working of Your mighty power, which You wrought in Christ, when you raised Him from the dead, and set Him at Your own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; and have put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.

I pray that You would grant __________, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might by Your Spirit in __________ inner man. That Christ may dwell in _____’s heart by faith; that ________, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend, with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ____________ might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now unto Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that ________ asks or thinks, according to the power that works in ___________, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen. [Ephesians 1:17-23; 3:14-21 Personalized]



Supporting Verse
An example of Jesus opening the mind of those who have a desire to understand or to receive revelation from Him through His Word is found in Luke 24:45-46:

Jesus ‘went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way. He said, “You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day, and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in His name to all nations—starting from here, from Jerusalem!…’ [The Message ]

Hello. I am asking for prayer for healing, as I stand before God in prayer 24/7. I have requested prayer for healing from this thread on several occasions, with each request being answered, whether for employment, or healing. I am standing in need of prayer for healing both in my body and for the extreme anxiety/fear that has come with the physical symptoms, which are what you do not want to see. The symptoms are beyond frightening, and will be seeking medical assessment soon. Please pray that the symptoms are not reflective of something life threatening, and can be taken care of. My faith is that tiny 'mustard seed' size, maybe smaller. but is shaky. Lord heal me.

Ladies,

Just wanted to drop in to ask that you all pray for me. Last year I moved across the country for school. I prayed and fasted and know that this blessing was meant for me.

This semester has been trying, to say the least. I've been dealing with feelings of inadequacy because I am a non-traditional Pre-Med student and my grades are not where I thought they would be. I've been putting in the work, but now I'm questioning my own intelligence and abilities based on poor performance on two exams. I'm dealing with irresponsible roommates and work-related issues on top of that as well, so I'm overall very stressed.

I'm asking that everyone, please, keep me in mind over the next few weeks while I attempt to pull these grades up and try to rebuild my confidence. My sister's been struggling in the same areas and I think that has also been hard for me to deal with too.

I'll be sure to keep all of you ladies in my thoughts and prayers this week!

Father God in Heaven, in Jesus' Mighty Name, we give God Thanks & the Highest Praise because God is GOOD All of the Time and All The Time, God is GOOD.

We Pray in Agreement with them for God's Kingdom to take DOMINION in their lives and for God's Will to be DONE in their lives ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN concerning their studies & grades, their jobs, their housing, and other distruptions and distractions in their lives.

We Pray in Agreement that their HOPE, STRENGTH & CONFIDENCE is in Your Promises to "supply what they need from God according to Your RICHES IN GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS.' And we shut down EVERY ATTACK of the devil and so that none of his schemes and sabotages will succeed in Jesus' Mighty Name.

They 'put on the Whole Armor of God' by speaking God's PROMISES over their lives throughout their day:
  • "I can DO ALL THINGS through Christ, Who Strengthens me."
  • "Greater is He (CHRIST JESUS) in me, than he (this world's stress & pressures) coming from the world."
  • "It is Christ living in me now and I live by HIS FAITH."
  • God didn't give me a spirit of fear or intimidation, but He gave me a spirit of Love, Power and Wisdom."
  • I believe that I RECEIVE by faith God's Promises on ABUNDANT Peace, Joy, Love, Faith, Wisdom, Understanding concerning the Wealth and Riches that I have in Jesus Christ, as my Inheritance.
  • The Blessing of Abraham are mine today, tomorrow and forever in Jesus' Name.
Their HOPE & CONFIDENCE is now remains in the LORD and God's Peace and Love covers them like a SHIELD wherever they are ... in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen!

:love "God is GOOD and His Mercy endures forever" ... All of the TIME, God is GOOD..."

:love "Jesus said, "Have Faith in God (God Promises) ... With God, NOTHING is impossible."

:love "Don't be afraid, ONLY BELIEVE"
Jesus told Jairus when news of his daughter had died.

Father God, we thank & praise you for Your GOODNESS & Your LOVE in the Name of Jesus ... and we are HAPPY & ANTICIPATE GOD'S GOODNESS b/c 'THIS is the Day that The LORD Made."

Thank you that 'The Blessing' covers NeoSoul' and her friend. Father, we give GOD GLORY & PRAISE for Your Will be done and your Kingdom take CHARGE over "M's life. We AGREE with God's Word and one another that "M's believes in his heart that Jesus died for his Sin and acknowedges in his mouth that "JESUS IS LORD" over his life. Like the 'prodigal son', he "KNOWS THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SETS him FREE", and he's knows that there's no Sin that he can commit that is keep him from returning to his :love Father's Love & Open Arms. M is returning to his FIRST LOVE, LORD JESUS. And he knows that he has a :love Heavenly Daddy Who Loves him, understands whats he's going thru, and You ONLY wants the BEST LIFE for him. He knows that You have NOT left him :love and no matter what bad news he's received, he can come home into the Loving Arms of Jesus, the Lover of his soul.

In Jesus' Name, we put a stop to the harrassing and tormenting LIES of the devil and we plead & cover him under the protection of the Blood of Jesus so that NONE of Satan's LIES and schemes against "M" causes him to run away from Your Love. And we're glad that there's no place that he can go away from YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, and let him FEEL YOUR LOVING PRESENCE & PROTECTION around him... whatever he's going thru, wherever he is right now, he will not die, but live and DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN JESUS' NAME. :love

"God is GOOD and His Mercy endures forever" ... All of the TIME, God is GOOD..."

"Don't be afraid, ONLY BELIEVE" Jesus told Jairus got bad news that his daughter had already died and they know him that it was too late for The LORD to come to HEAL her."

"Is THERE ANYTHING too hard FOR THE LORD?!"

:love Father in Heaven, In JESUS' HOLY NAME, :love we THANK & PRAISE GOD ... \o/ FOR SENDING YOUR WORD TO HEAL Naimaislove AND TO DELIVER her FROM ALL DESTRUCTION \o/ \0/ \O/... :love LORD JESUS, WE THANK YOU FOR COMING TO HEAL us. :love

We AGREE IN PRAYER with her & we COMMAND that 'this sickness' leave her body in the POWER & AUTHORITY of JESUS' HOLY NAME ...in the NAME of the ETERNAL & LIVING GOD, The One Who SPOKE the universe into existence ... HalleluYAH \o/

... LORD JESUS, at Your Instructions, we SPEAK TO THIS MOUNTAIN (SICKNESS or (EVERYTHING from the "The Curse & the Devil") and we COMMAND 'it' to MOVE OUT of her body, and IT HAS TO OBEY us IN THE AUTHORITY & POWER OF GOD'S WORD.

We BELIEVE with her that she BELIEVES that SHE RECEIVES HER HEALING NOW because JESUS PAID THE PRICE WITH HIS BLOOD TO FREE us by DESTROYING the works of the devil, including the power of sicknesses and disease, poverty, stress, depression, etc.

love GOD IS SO GOOD AND ALL THE TIME, GOD IS SO GOOD! AMEN & AMEN! HALLELU-YAH ... :love Celebrate The LORD Our God! :love

Bless you for this beautiful prayer! Much of what you prayed earlier, I prayed about too so I guess in many ways that’s confirmation. When two or three are gathered, he is in the midst so thank you for standing in the gap with me for “M”. It’s been so hard but I’m believing that God will work a miracle. Thank you so much for your prayer, it has blessed me so much. You couldn’t have posted at a better time. The lord sent this at the perfect time to let me know that he heard me today! Bless you again. You don’t know how much I needed that [emoji173]️

I pray for happiness and to end my depression. I feel like god is overlooking me and I don’t understand why but I will continue to pray and talk to him

:heart:SomeGirl, Be Encouraged & Be Strengthened IN.THE.NAME .OF.JESUS, becuz GOD LOVES you. :heart:(John 3:16). No, The LORD has not forgotten or overlooked you. He wants you to run into His Loving Arms and TRUST Him so He can be your FATHER, Who will love you the way a Father is supposed to love & protect His child. :heart: He wants you to let Him be your BEST FRIEND, He will stick CLOSER to you than a brother! If Sin, Death & the Hell couldn't stop Him from taking off His Magnificent Glory in Heaven and coming into the world to :heart:SAVE us from the Satanic power of fear, shame, guilt, abuse, discouragement, anger, depression, abandonment, sicknesses, rejection, family dysfunctions, misunderstood, etc., then NOTHING will stop Him from HELPING/ HEALING/ PROVIDING for you TODAY so you can be the Amazing Happy person that God CREATED YOU to become: A life FREE from cares in this life, HAPPY & BLESSED today. It doesn't mean that we don't have problems, anxiety, disappointments, etc. but He will take them and turn them into 'Lemonade' (lol) because you let Jesus be the SOURCE of whatever you need and want, you will never be disappointed again. YOU ARE PRECIOUS & VALUABLE TO God. You are God's Masterpiece - You are 'One-of-A-Kind' ... there's no one else like you in existence. God planned your life to be A GOOD LIFE. :heart:His Plan and Purpose for your life is far far GREATER than what you've gone thru. He will show you if you will trust Him. "GREATER is Christ Himself living in you (by the Holy Spirit), than he who is living in this world (Satan who is the ruler of the world BUT NOT ruler of the Universe & Beyond: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF ALL CREATION)."

The BEST is YET coming when you FOLLOW GOD'S WORD. You are not what you've been thru. God's GRACE is your Strength! Put on Christ. You are God's 'work in progress!' Satan has been using your past as a way to keep you 'stuck there' or to keep your REHEARSHING THE PAIN of your past. IN THE NAME OF JESUS! it's over! Take up your bed and walk! You're FREE IN THE NAME OF JESUS from Depression, Discouragement, and everything that's has been keeping you unable to move on in your life. Receive THE TRUTH: God's WORD IS TRUTH. Jesus defeated the devil so that he can NO LONGER steal your DESTINY aka God's Amazing Plan anymore for your life. YOU'RE FREE!!!! So Keep your eyes on God's Promises in HIS WORD because God is a Good God and that He LOVES you with an Unconditional and Ever-Lasting Love. :heart: Study God's WORD as if your LIFE depends on it because it does.
JESUS: "I have come so that you may ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST & MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE YOUR LIFE COULD BE." HAVE FAITH IN GOD, and you will SEE with your own eyes God's Favor & Protection for you. But you must BECOME INTIMATE with God's WORD / Promises to you.

:heart:Father God, we love YOU and :heart:we Bless Your Holy Name, IN.THE.NAME.OF.JESUS, for loving us unconditionally.:heart:

We thank You for :heart:Op and God's Amazing plans for her life TODAY and forever. We know that ONLY FAITH PLEASES GOD. Therefore, BY FAITH IN GOD'S WORD, w
e AGREE IN PRAYER TOGETHER with her (Matthew 18:19) that the Kingdom of God is RELEASED in her life so she is EXPERIENCING God's Goodness, Mercy, Protection, Presence, Favor, Love, Peace, Healings, Deliverances, Provisions, and Faith fully. Cause them to CHASE her down and OVERWHELM her throughout her day with these Blessings listed in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 because JESUS is her Savior and her LORD and You died so we could ENJOY them and EVEN MORE.

We AGREE IN PRAYER TOGETHER with Op that she BELIEVES that she RECEIVES her HEALING from depression, discouragement, and all of the other things from her past that has was CAUSED her to feel unloved, unsupported and alone, etc. We AGREE with her that Every Day, she PUTS ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD & she SPEAKS GOD'S WORD (the double-edged Sword of the Spirit) and will no longer allow thoughts and feelings that does not agree with God's WORD to torment her because she TRUSTS Jesus as her Savior and her LORD, Who is also the BEST FRIEND that anyone could ever have in this life. LORD, You know her BETTER than anyone, and You LOVE her MORE than anyone! :heart: We cover her in the Blood of Jesus for protection. She receives the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Who will become her TEACH & GUIDE every time she reads The Bible to search to KNOW THE TRUTH because THE TRUTH MAKES her FREE and she KNOWS Your Voice because "Your sheep KNOW Your Voice and she will no longer listen to the voice of a stranger (fear, shame, guilt, abuse, discouragement, anger, depression, abandonment, rejection, misunderstood, etc.,).

IN.THE.NAME.OF.JESUS, we thank you that Op will never feel the same way about herself from this day forward because she knows that she belongs to Jesus and He is the Lover of our souls because He DEFEATED Satan and Death for us. :heart: And she TRUSTS God's WORD with all of her heart and she no longer reasons things out , but she asks God for Wisdom, and You will show her the RIGHT CHOICE to take. She knows now that You have NOT left and You will NEVER leave her and You will be with her to the end of her life, when she steps over into Eternity to be with The LORD forever in Heavenly Bliss.


Enjoy your Day and enjoy your Life in JESUS' NAME. AMEN!

I would really appreciate some prayers. I've been struggling with depression and the feeling that a dream of mine will not come to pass. I'm also looking for a new job and nothing has opened up yet.

"Have FAITH IN GOD [whatever My WORD Promises]" JESUS SAYS."

"With God [your FAITH in (1) God's Power & (2) your Faith in His Love for you], ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE." JESUS SAYS.


"Don't be afraid! ONLY BELIEVE!" JESUS SAYS.


"I Know What My Plans and My Thoughts are for YOU, SAYS The LORD, "They are for you to ENJOY My PEACE & My Goodness, and for you to ANTICIPATE A GOOD OUTCOME concerning your Future [your Today, Tomorrow and Forever.]"

Holy Father, :lovewe love You and Thank You IN.THE.NAME.OF.JESUS that You are Jehovah Jired, our LORD Who PROVIDES whatever we need and You are Jehovah Rapha, The LORD Who HEALS us. You are THE LORD GOD, and You don't change. Jesus Christ is the SAME, Yesterday, TODAY and Forever.:heart:

We AGREE IN PRAYER with Payton that The LORD is NEAR to all who Call on Him. As we PRAY, LORD, You are already speaking to her heart and assuring her that You've not left her alone, but You are a Friend Who sticks closer to us than a brother. And Your WORD instructs us, we PRAY TOGETHER with her and for her HEALING from depression and we command it to go from her mind and to NEVER come back to torment or harass her IN.THE.NAME.OF.JESUS. And we thank You, Father, for GIVING her the BEST JOB that she's ever had and it is SUITABLE & PERFECT for her in distance from home, pay scale, job satisfaction, vacation pay, promotions, perks (401K, stocks, etc.) and other GREAT BENEFITS. In fact, LORD, BLOW HER MIND :b41 so that she will NEVER doubt God's Promises again concerning God's Purpose & Plan for her life. HER FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES are growing in LEAPS & BOUNDS, and she will NEVER again allow those feelings of abandoned or alone to cause her to DOUBT God's Love for her. She wake up every MORNING say: "I can do ALL things THRU CHRIST, Who gives me HIS STRENGTH!" :b41 She no longer RELY on her own mindset, but she seeks to RENEW HER MINDSET with God's Wisdom (God's WORD) AND THE HOLY SPIRIT Who teaches her concerning every decision or directions she has to make. Use her as A LIGHT and a Witness of God's Mercy and Faithfulness to Keep His Promises to those who HAVE FAITH IN GOD... She walks thru this JOURNEY OF LIFE trusting The Holy Spirit to GUIDE her IN GOD'S WORD and NOT by the circumstances in her life ... IN JESUS' NAME, we GIVE GOD ALL OF THE PRAISE, THE THANKS AND THE GLORY for her life and she will NEVER look at her circumstances EXCEPT thru God's WORD as a LAMP to her taking the RIGHT DIRECTIONS and God's WORD is a LIGHT leading her on the RIGHT ROAD of Love, Peace, Joy, Happiness - giving Praise to THE GOD OF PEACE & JOY in her life as God's Child. Amen and Amen!:heart:

Starting my christian journey over again. Any advice you guys can give me?

I would say, be diligent in your prayers. Make it habit, as change is upon. For God tells us when we choose him we become anew man. Ridding of our old selves. So, don’t be afraid to let go as he will start to reveal things to you, move people, words, thoughts, desires, and habits out of your life. Replacing them with more fitting ones aligned with your spirit. You may not recognize yourself anymore. God will want to show you who you are in his image. Lastly, make time to crack upon your bible regularly. (Early in the morning if you can.) Like brushing your teeth. Not only will you need it for your renewed walk, but you’ll enjoy it. It keeps us from falling off. Not to mention, all those strange things that start happening when you decide fo walk with God. You want to be on it. B/c the attacks are real. **busy enemy** But we want to be immobile like Job. Always giving praise. For he who giveth, taketh away, but our love should never change. We serve a mighty God, a just God. Nothing goes unseen. So if every during your walk things get bleak, GIvE praise sis. If u don’t understand, give praise, and ask the Holy spirit to show u.i cant say it enough, but the #1 most important thing is reading your Bible. The best way you can put on your armor each day. and lastly, Keep your Sabbath.✨Sending u love sister. Praying for your walk. We serve a forgiving, super patient, and loving God. Whatever you do, be kind to yourself upon this journey ... & lol, though he can handle it; also, try to be kind to God as well. We won’t always understand what he is doing, but we must trust him. Day by Day.

Best wishes //Amen

I need prayer and encouragement!!

I thought everything was going well but now, I see i'm back to square one! I'm even too nervous to tell my family tbh!
I'm frustrated, tired, scared, disappointed. I hate this feeling!
Can y'all share some scriptures to help me be more confident and less worrisome

I have an important exam to take monday morning so could you please say a prayer for me! I'll continue to study this weekend and pray for myself, but I really don't think I can do this alone, I don't want my anxiety to take over.

Thank you for even reading this!

I ask all for prayer as I have been having health concerns. Please pray for my complete healing, and for my strength in the Lord. I'm exhausted, but not giving up.

I'm late, you already took your exam, but I feel to pray for you!

Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, You know the needs of Your daughter. I know You desire us to pray for each other, as a family in You, to bring us together in Your love, I'm asking You to wrap Your arms around my sister and show her in a mighty way that You're there with her. God, please take away any anxiety and frustration she feels. Touch her to know that she will be ok and that she has You!! Teach her her lessons gently, Lord, give her all she needs and desires according to Your will. You love her more than anyone can love her! Hear my prayer! Hear her prayer! Amen.

I pray in the name of Jesus that you receive a complete healing. Lord, Your dear Naimaislove needs You and I know You hear her. I join my prayers with hers to ask You to help her right now as she reads this or doesn't read this. Your will be done even when we don't understand Your plan, which may be hard but You are perfect and asked us to pray for each other. Life is hard, Lord, for so many people, but I understand that we aren't in the perfect peace of Heaven. But I'm praying for my sister that You give her earthly life that she needs! Amen

Family, I'm in need of prayers. I'm in the market for a full-time job. I've been freelancing for a bit but I really need something solid with benefits. I've been applying for jobs like crazy, even had several interviews. Two of the jobs I've applied for got all the way to the point where there should have been an offer but both had to put hiring on hold due to shifting budgets (both were small businesses). I would appreciate any prayers you could throw my way.

"TRUST ONLY in The LORD."

Op, I'm going to pray with you like The LORD told us to do: "Ask the Father for ANYTHING in My Name (in the Name of Jesus) and He will do it for YOU" ... "I'm telling you the Truth that if ANY 2 or more of you would PRAY TOGETHER FOR SOMETHING, then My Father in Heaven will DO IT FOR YOU."

Patton, we can't throw prayers your way (lol), but we can FOLLOW JESUS' INSTRUCTIONS (yourself included) on HOW to pray in order to get our PRAYERS answered, so let's PRAY:

:loveHeavenly Father, in Jesus' Name we Ask & we Thank You for giving Payton a job that is SUITABLE for her re: income, location, benefits, etc. You love her and You want her to KNOW that God's WORD is True. Therefore, we agree together with her in this PRAYER that God is giving her what she's asked for and she promises to give God all of the Praise & Thanks when she receives that call offering her a full-time job in Jesus' Name. Amen

Hi, I need prayers for my finances, my bank account is empty and i feel like my finances are being blocked please pray for me

"TRUST ONLY IN THE LORD."
"HAVE FAITH IN GOD."
"If you WOULD BELIEVE, then ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."


sweetmelly, God has said, "My people will live BY FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES."

It doesn't matter what your bank account looks like. Our Heavenly Father OWNS ALL of the money, gold, jewels, minerals, etc. on the Earth. "The Earth belongs to The LORD. And not only the Earth, but everything GOOD on the Earth belongs to Him, even the people who live on the Earth belongs to the LORD."


"The Silver and the Gold is Mine, says the LORD."

I encourage you to GIVE and to TITHE according to Malachi 3:10 so that your Blessings are NOT blocked by the thief. Your Blessings are MORE than just finances. They are also the Right info, the Right contacts, contract deals, investments, savings, etc. monies that are NOT available to those who don't know about God's Covenant Agreement on the Earth... God is NOT limited to the balance in your bank account. He doesn't even need your account in order to get the monies to you. He already knows what and how He's going to BLESS you. :b41 Let's pray:

:loveHeavenly Father, in Jesus' Mighty Name, we ask and thank You for providing sweetmelly with the financial blessings and whatever else she needs according to your Riches in Glory in Christ Jesus. We agree with her that she will LISTEN to your instructions as Your Holy Spirit leads her to where she should be in order to receive her Blessings. We rebuke lack and poverty off of her life in Jesus' Holy Name. May she NEVER again sees herself as the 'tailend when Jesus has made her to be the head. And she sees herself in YOUR WORD as BLESSED going thru every doorway. She remembers that Christ has REDEEMED us from the Curse of the Law so that the Blessings of Abraham would come on her today, as they are LISTED in Deuteronomy 28:1-14. May she speak those Blessings over her life every day because that is God's Will for His Children living on the Earth. We plead the Blood of Jesus over her life and ALL of your children praying along with us, those seeking God's help in their circumstances and we DECLARE that every attack of the devil against them will have no more effect over their finances.


And we give God all of the praise and the thanks for what You're doing in the lives of Your people so that the world will know that You sent Your Son to destroy the works of the devil in our lives... in Jesus' Name, we pray together for God's Glory and the Praise of His HOLY & POWERFUL NAME. Amen

:heart:Op, "GOD IS GOOD & HIS MERCY IS AVAILABLE TO US FOREVER:heart: and He LOVES YOU:heart: ...Let's pray...

:heart: Heavenly Father, we THANK YOU in JESUS' MIGHTY Name for OP, and we AGREE together in this prayer with Hatshepsut and anyone else who wish to pray by their own volition ...by putting their HOPE & FAITH in God's Love for them & asking for Your Will to be Done in their lives and Your Kingdom to be manifested aka REVEALED in their lives & circumstances so that they will ENJOY a GOOD OUTCOME here on Earth as it is in Heaven.

We "ASK & RECEIVE, SEEK & FIND, KNOCK & THE DOOR OF HEAVEN, OPENS" for OP & others that God CHANGES FOR GOOD their situations (jobs, money, peace, safety, joy, peace, good health, wisdom to know what to do right, etc. And they are TRUSTING IN YOU and not in people. People can NEVER take God's Place in their lives.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, we BREAK the power of hopelessness, suicide, stress, discouragement, fear, doubt, unbelief over her/them (all of the lies & things that the devil uses to defeat ppl so they will give up!). IN JESUS' NAME, their HOPE IS IN THE LORD. "OP and/they now KNOW THE TRUTH OF GOD'S LOVE for them and THE TRUTH OF JESUS DEATH ON THE CROSS ... has SET THEM FREE ...from the stress coming against them in this world." We cover her/them under the protection of the Blood of Jesus and NO WEAPON (lies of the Devil) will be successful against them. We give God Thanks and Praise for their perspective about their lives being CHANGED OP/they are 'throwing EVERY ONE OF THEIR CARES OVER on THE LORD, because He cares about them."

In Jesus' Precious Name, we thank God for supplying EVERY thing that they HAVE according to God's Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus ... that means that they are RESISTING the thoughts to stress and worry and feel abandoned and lonely because IN THIS PRAYER, we've given their needs to God and its NOW God's Problem (tho God doesn't have problems, but ONLY Blessings to give us) ...

Op/they trust Jesus to Save them and give them Eternal Life & they accept His Death on the Cross as God's Forgiveness for their Sin, and they are NOW free to come to God as Father God. And Jesus Christ is now LORD over their lives and they TRUST IN HIM to show them God's Amazing Plan for their lives EVERY DAY as they seek Him in His WORD (in the Bible):good and their lives will become an :b41EXCITING ADVENTURE as they walk with the LORD until He return to take us to Heaven to be with Him forever:heart: ... giving God The Thanks, Praise, Blessings, Glory and Honor ...and baptize them in the HOLY GHOST with the evidence of praying/speaking in The Holy Spirit:b72... In Jesus' Mighty Name, we agree together ...Amen and Amen. :heart:

Just want deliverance and a breakthrough. I have never been so exhausted. I keep going out of habit, and the promise that I’ll get out of here. It’s disorienting knowing that I’ll be free of this, but to still be going through it

I'm in the same boat as you two. Mentally, I'm exhausted over my current circumstances and not knowing what the future holds. I'm mad at myself because I got myself in this bad space. I'm just not smart enough to know any better. In the past, God has saved me from getting in deeper trouble. But now it seems like he's punishing me for being my dumb ole self. I often wonder why he allows me to be on this earth, as I'm nothing but a waste of space.

However, there is a small voice in the back of my mind telling me that God is with me, and all I have to do is hold on and pray.

So from now on, every time a thought about ending it all appears, I need to ask God to give me the strength, the wisdom, and the gratitude to make it to another day.

Hang in there the best you can y'all and pray with all your might. Something good will happen one way or another.

Sorry for the skeptical! I was trying to hug you

Thanks for the encouragement sis. You are right, we are in the same boat. I know I don’t have to tell you how crazy it is.

This probably won’t hold weight, but God isn’t punishing you. It’s hard to ignore the enemy, but your anguish is what he wants

We’ll be free sooner than later

...for the sake of brevity (lol) ... nahhh!...just kidding! Ya'll already know that 'brevity' :eyes::eyes: is not in my vocabulary! (lol) anywhooo!!! :b41

...here's a Faith Principle on why our WORDS matter to God and plays a VITAL ROLE in order for Him to PERFORM HIS WORD in our lives aka answer our prayers. He has the POWER to make it happen, and HIS LOVE & DESIRE is to BLESS us MORE than we want to be BLESSED BY HIM. BUT if we aren't FULLY CONVINCED about what God has PROMISED to do for us, then it causes our FAITH to be weak, which can HINDER God's AMAZING Power & His Love from being REVEALED in your life. I've had the LORD to say to me once: "CHANGE YOUR WORDS!" I found myself getting frustrated & complaining to Him about a particular LACK in my life. But when He said that to me, at first I was like 'huh??!!' :sleep: But then I thought about and REALIZED that He was telling me that my WORDS were all wrong and they were NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH WHAT HE PROMISED AND what I ASKED HIM FOR!!! So I IMMEDIATELY changed my words to HIM when He said that, and I started THANKING HIM for GIVING me my Blessing in JESUS' NAME. And the VERY NEXT day, He was ABLE to MAKE IT HAPPEN in my life.:heart: He gave me a DEBT-FREE car and I never met the person that God used. TRUE STORY!!! This is the ATTITUDE/WORDS adjustment so we don't STOP God from doing what HE PROMISES in our lives. He's NEVER the problem...Ever! Our attitudes can be 'over the place' and block our Blessings. Listen to what Jesus says:

Mark 9:22-24
SICK Boy's father came to Jesus and said: "This evil spirit has thrown him often into the fire and sometimes into the water, trying to destroy him. I have run out of options; I have tried everything. But if there’s anything You can do, please, have pity on us and help us. Jesus: What do you mean, If there’s anything I CAN DO?” ALL THINGS [you're ASKING Me to do] ARE POSSIBLE, IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE.
Boy's Father (crying in desperation): I BELIEVE, LORD. Help me to BELIEVE!" JESUS HEALED THE BOY.

Luke 12:31-33
Jesus:
Don’t worry about your security and safety, about your food and your clothing, but FIRST & FOREMOST, SEEK AFTER GOD'S KINGDOM (PRAY, SPEAK & AGREE with God's WORD (Will) for your life) and these other things will come to you as well." My little flock, DON'T BE AFRAID. God is your Father, and your Father’s great joy is to GIVE YOU HIS KINGDOM. That means you can sell your possessions and give generously to the poor. You can have a different kind of DIVINE SAVINGS PLAN: one that never depreciates, one that never defaults, one that can’t be plundered by crooks or destroyed by natural calamities."

Mark 5:35
While JESUS was speaking, some members of Jairus’s household servants pushed through the crowd. Jairus’s Servants (to Jairus): "Your daughter is dead. There’s no need to drag the Teacher any farther." Jesus overheard their words. Then He turned to look at Jairus. Jesus: "It’s ALL RIGHT. DON'T BE AFRAID! JUST BELIEVE." And Jesus RAISED the little girl back to life.

Our job is to JUST BELIEVE GOD'S WORD ABOVE what we're dealing with. Satan uses chaos, fear and doubt to rob you, hoping to get you to SAY NEGATIVE thoughts and words so that your OUTCOME is totally OPPOSITE of GOD'S PROMISES TO BRING A GOOD OUTCOME. "FAITH IN GOD COMES WHEN YOU HEAR GOD'S WORD ... over and over again. Note: If you get your FOCUS off of God's WORD, then chaos, fear, apprehension, doubt and dreadful circumstances around you will DISTRACT your FAITH and keep reminding you of your past troubles to make you FEARFUL & apprehensive about your future. God has already PREPARED your future to be FULL OF HOPE and PEACEFUL and SUCCESSFUL.

I can't say this enough: Our WORDS have Great IMPACT on whether we will "BELIEVE WE RECEIVE GOD'S PROMISES". If we BELIEVE what Jesus SAYS will HAPPEN when we PRAY, then we HAVE WHAT JESUS SAID we would have!! (Mark 11:25)

The LORD reminded me RECENTLY to ask Him to HELP me Guard over my WORDS so that I don't SPEAK NEGATIVITY or DEATH or a CURSE TO HIS WILL for my life. Our WORDS can CANCEL GOD'S PLANS for our lives. We must GROW UP IN GOD'S WORD so you can 'STAND YOUR GROUND' against the lies of the devil AND TAKE CHARGE & TAKE BACK what belongs to God's Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. Our prayerful attitude EVERY DAY should include:

Psalm 19:14
Let my WORDS and my THOUGHTS be pleasing to you, LORD, because you are my Mighty ROCK and my PROTECTOR.

Psalm 141:2-3
May my PRAYER be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering. Set A GUARD, O LORD, over my mouth; WATCH the door of my lips.

oh ... one other thing that ... your FAITH IN GOD continues to GROW STRONGER as you spend time reading HIS WORD, via reading, youtube, christian tv, etc. ...anytime you're BELIEVING God to HELP you, then you can't spend 90% being entertained by 'secular' & worldly OPINIONS on tv, music, etc. and ONLY 10% of your time 'HEARING GOD'S WORD' ... cause "FAITH IN GOD COMES BY HEARING ...HEARING GOD'S WORD" ... so it depends on what's MORE important to you? ... answered prayers or being in the loop on what's going on 'in the world" ... I'm just sayin'...:soldier "PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD = GOD'S WORD" 'cause if you're a BORN AGAIN Believer IN CHRIST, we're in a Spiritual War BUT:starwe've already WON THE VICTORY thru Jesus Christ!!!:starBut we have to STAND OUR GROUND against our defeated enemy, and don't give up ANY territory in fact TAKE MORE TERRITORY ...and just don't be intimidated because THE LORD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES, all we have to do is :b72FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME!:b72THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!!!

...for the sake of brevity (lol) ... nahhh!...just kidding! Ya'll already know that 'brevity' :eyes::eyes: is not in my vocabulary! (lol) anywhooo!!! :b41

...here's a Faith Principle on why our WORDS matter to God and plays a VITAL ROLE in order for Him to PERFORM HIS WORD in our lives aka answer our prayers. He has the POWER to make it happen, and HIS LOVE & DESIRE is to BLESS us MORE than we want to be BLESSED BY HIM. BUT if we aren't FULLY CONVINCED about what God has PROMISED to do for us, then it causes our FAITH to be weak, which can HINDER God's AMAZING Power & His Love from being REVEALED in your life. I've had the LORD to say to me once: "CHANGE YOUR WORDS!" I found myself getting frustrated & complaining to Him about a particular LACK in my life. But when He said that to me, at first I was like 'huh??!!' :sleep: But then I thought about and REALIZED that He was telling me that my WORDS were all wrong and they were NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH WHAT HE PROMISED AND what I ASKED HIM FOR!!! So I IMMEDIATELY changed my words to HIM when He said that, and I started THANKING HIM for GIVING me my Blessing in JESUS' NAME. And the VERY NEXT day, He was ABLE to MAKE IT HAPPEN in my life.:heart: He gave me a DEBT-FREE car and I never met the person that God used. TRUE STORY!!! This is the ATTITUDE/WORDS adjustment so we don't STOP God from doing what HE PROMISES in our lives. He's NEVER the problem...Ever! Our attitudes can be 'over the place' and block our Blessings. Listen to what Jesus says:

Mark 9:22-24
SICK Boy's father came to Jesus and said: "This evil spirit has thrown him often into the fire and sometimes into the water, trying to destroy him. I have run out of options; I have tried everything. But if there’s anything You can do, please, have pity on us and help us. Jesus: What do you mean, If there’s anything I CAN DO?” ALL THINGS [you're ASKING Me to do] ARE POSSIBLE, IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE.
Boy's Father (crying in desperation): I BELIEVE, LORD. Help me to BELIEVE!" JESUS HEALED THE BOY.

Luke 12:31-33
Jesus:
Don’t worry about your security and safety, about your food and your clothing, but FIRST & FOREMOST, SEEK AFTER GOD'S KINGDOM (PRAY, SPEAK & AGREE with God's WORD (Will) for your life) and these other things will come to you as well." My little flock, DON'T BE AFRAID. God is your Father, and your Father’s great joy is to GIVE YOU HIS KINGDOM. That means you can sell your possessions and give generously to the poor. You can have a different kind of DIVINE SAVINGS PLAN: one that never depreciates, one that never defaults, one that can’t be plundered by crooks or destroyed by natural calamities."

Mark 5:35
While JESUS was speaking, some members of Jairus’s household servants pushed through the crowd. Jairus’s Servants (to Jairus): "Your daughter is dead. There’s no need to drag the Teacher any farther." Jesus overheard their words. Then He turned to look at Jairus. Jesus: "It’s ALL RIGHT. DON'T BE AFRAID! JUST BELIEVE." And Jesus RAISED the little girl back to life.

Our job is to JUST BELIEVE GOD'S WORD ABOVE what we're dealing with. Satan uses chaos, fear and doubt to rob you, hoping to get you to SAY NEGATIVE thoughts and words so that your OUTCOME is totally OPPOSITE of GOD'S PROMISES TO BRING A GOOD OUTCOME. "FAITH IN GOD COMES WHEN YOU HEAR GOD'S WORD ... over and over again. Note: If you get your FOCUS off of God's WORD, then chaos, fear, apprehension, doubt and dreadful circumstances around you will DISTRACT your FAITH and keep reminding you of your past troubles to make you FEARFUL & apprehensive about your future. God has already PREPARED your future to be FULL OF HOPE and PEACEFUL and SUCCESSFUL.

I can't say this enough: Our WORDS have Great IMPACT on whether we will "BELIEVE WE RECEIVE GOD'S PROMISES". If we BELIEVE what Jesus SAYS will HAPPEN when we PRAY, then we HAVE WHAT JESUS SAID we would have!! (Mark 11:25)

The LORD reminded me RECENTLY to ask Him to HELP me Guard over my WORDS so that I don't SPEAK NEGATIVITY or DEATH or a CURSE TO HIS WILL for my life. Our WORDS can CANCEL GOD'S PLANS for our lives.

Um... wow.

This is so crazy (in a good way)

In the back of my head I was thinking I should make a thread about "How much power do our words really have?" and here you are with the divine tea :ROFLMAO: Thank you for all you do, and God be sanctified for using you to bring peace and kind words to others.

It's blowing my mind that all I have to do is believe. Especially when the world or people will tell you, "you don't do enough" but why do I have to do anything when God is? I'm not saying I can be lazy and never get out of bed, but that I can't make my own blessings or opportunities like the world would have you think...

Your post has given me a lot to think about haha

Also, I PM'd you!

He doesn't disappoint those seeking His Will!

BELIEVE & SPEAK WHAT YOU BELIEVE - BELIEVE & SPEAK GOD'S PROMISES ... don't speak your frustrations and disappointments! ...it really is that simple... The LORD keeps it simple.

All we have to do is 'DO whatever Jesus SAY DO, and SAY whatever Jesus SAID to SAY!" This is what He means when He SAYS, "FOLLOW Me". It's worked for me! I've LEARNED years ago to NOT put my TRUST in anyone BUT God = God's PROMISES! He doesn't disappoint us Ever!

Everything that we need or want from God is ALREADY HERE ON THE EARTH, but the devil is trying to keep us 'in the dark' (deceived) and trying to keep it from us by creating chaos & fear THAT are lies & manipulations to frustrate our FAITH! This is why God's WORD says: JESUS: "From the time of John the Baptizer until NOW, the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN has been FORCEFULLY ADVANCING, and its the FORCEFUL people who are POSSESSING it." Matthew 11:12

We are to counter-attack and frustrate the devil's plans on the Earth IN CHRIST'S POWER IN PRAYER. We are the ones (BORN-AGAIN Believers) with the GREATER ONE LIVING in us WHO HAS ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS on Earth, in the Heavens, under the Earth, in this world and in the world that's Coming! This life on Earth is ONLY the PRELUDE to ETERNITY ... this is ONLY a Dress Rehearsal of the PROMOTION in ETERNITY!
hugs.png
He's bringing OUR REWARDS WITH HIM!

... Satan is a bully and hopes no one bucks up against him:loser, but we KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH HAS SET US FREE from his attacks :b41... we are the ones that God has given us the VICTORY over him:soldier ... and the devils KNOW THIS, hoping that we NEVER find out what JESUS GAVE US!!!:heart:

So I'm working on getting closer to God again. If you all can pray for me that would be nice.

I just want to give some encouragement and tell yall that everything is going to be ok, but you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop letting your current circumstances destroy your spirit. Yes, I know that things aren't working for you in the way you want them to, but you have to keep going. With each trial you go through, keep your head high.
